Experience: I am currently a nurse, but have been a nanny for over seven years and helped children of all ages and with a variety of needs. I have helped with everything from piano practice to SAT preparation, helping to warm bottles or letting a child pour their own milk. I believe that I can continue to do this job with enthusiasm because kids are always changing and growing which makes everyday new. I have been with families on vacation or helped them create a daily routine in the home. I have accompanied two toddlers through a plane ride across the US and spent a week alone with the same toddlers in NYC as their parents enjoyed a much needed getaway in Jamaica.

Experience with the following age groups: Infant Exp. I am a sister to an 14 year old boy which means I was 19 when he was born. For this reason I have experience with the demands of an infant. I know about basic care and the importance of mood, stimulation and touch. Preschool and School Age Exp. I have long standing experience with two very happy families of toddlers. We spent our days making "mud pies", exploring in the kitchen, playing in water sprinklers, attending childrens theater, practicing the piano, eating fun but healthy meals, playing make believe, reading books, having picnics and singing Spanish songs. Pre Teen and Teenagers Exp. I spent a year with an astute thirteen year old girl adhering to a morning and afternoon school, providing transportation, assisting with school work, making silly dance routines, practicing for her school play. I also spent five months in the National Forest with at risk and entitled teenagers as they renegotiated their relationships with themselves, their lives and their parents.

Interests and hobbies:I love rock climbing, running, yoga, reading, nutrition, guitar, film production and photography. I continue to work with kids because their curiosity keeps me curious!

Describe your childcare style:It is important for the child to receive a consistent message from the nanny and from the parents about discipline, house rules and expected behavior. I like to work with the parents to agree upon this message. I prefer a fun, active environment where the kids are "little helpers" and receive love both in the form of hugs and appropriate discipline.

What activities do you like to do with children:I love to do anything active. I love going out to the park, making a fun meal together, finding a theater show, going to museums, trying out musical instruments, playing freeze tag, taking their bicycles out to a safe place or having a living room dance party. In the afternoon I also like to spend a brief down period of reading books, listening to some calming music, trying a few yoga poses or having some self play. I think it is important for me to model the importance of both active and passive time.

Why are you interested in working as a Nanny or Babysitter? I like to work with kids because their curiosity keeps me curious! It is such a rewarding feeling to be able to experience their joy in learning and new experiences!

What qualities are important in a Nanny or Babysitter?Willingness to communicate with the parents, patience, flexibility, empathy, ENERGY, creativity and problem-solving skills. I think it also takes a sense of humor to enjoy the day and help the kids to enjoy their day.
